Ok, so I had 2 drafts this weekend one a 12 team league (with an odd setup, but a big money league so should be interesting) and another 10 team league for just a $100. Neither are PPR and both have small bonuses(2-3 pts) for big plays (40+ yard play, etc)

With this team Im not sure if I should start Cameron at TE, Ive heard good things from him so far about this upcoming season.

Also I have a guy who wants Stephen Jackson and that right now is the strength of my team (the 3 RBs) so if possible would yall think its worth trying to trade Stephen Jackson and Jared Cook for Monte Ball and Jimmy Graham?

I feel pretty good about both, the 3 QB league has me a little nervous but was one of only 4 teams to actually nab 3 starting QBs which I think will be a major factor, so here is to Weeden having a much better year and hopefully Vick flourishes in the new offense.

What yall think?

Cook and Cameron are both solid low TE1 guys, that could really surprise. I think Cook and S-Jax for Ball and Graham is a bad move.

So How did I do? I think I made out pretty well. If Gio and Montee can be productive I think I stand a good chance at winning. QB's started going quick and I had to jump on Luck and Manning earlier than I would have wanted.

This is stupid. You are playing with idiots.

One guy took RG3 and Russell Wilson back to back and he already is offering Russell for David Wilson. I'm thinking of staying pat with Dalton. Also maybe package Jordy and David for a better RB2?

There is no point in owning Vick Ballard. Even if you draft him as a handcuff to Bradshaw and Bradshaw goes down - Ballard proved last year that you can't even start him when he's the starter. So why bother? I'd rather take Kendall Hunter or Christine Michael - at least if they get a path to playing time they might do something.

Ballard and guys like Daniel thomas are just a waste. It's still football we're playing and some guys are just not that good. We forget this all to often when we look for opportunity guys rather than simply good players.

I like him and have him in two leagues. His ranking on Yahoo is insanely high.

Unfortunately I just drafted a team and my TE situation is Brandon Myers/Owen Daniels. Not looking forward to that.

Third thought - I really don't like many WRs this year at all in the 3rd-4th range.

1.) Rivers is still throwing it...
2.) You should feel pretty good about your TE's if you ask me.
3.) WR is so deep your sometimes song D. Thomas and Julio and others with those picks because Lord knows you'll very rarely get a starting RB those rounds.

So with Dustin Keller out, it looks like Brandon Gibson is getting a lot of the inside looks that Keller was getting. Wouldn't be surprised to see him be a solid WR3 option this season.

What are your thoughts on Hartline? I play in some deep leagues and he was usable in a pinch at times last year, especially in a PPR league. Will not being the #1 option help or hurt him? Think he'll come close to last years 70 rec 1000 yards?

I like it, I'm someone who will pass on RBs early if the value lies elsewhere. You ended up with Cam and Tom though. I'm guessing you took Cam earlier? In hindsight, that might have been a better spot to grab a RB, depending on who was available.
